First of all, there were quite a lot of us.
So there were five children and most of the time my mum, because there weren't very many.
But because my father died when I was five and then my stepfather, my mother married again and my stepfather was killed when I was 12, 11.
And they were both in.
They were both pilots in the Navy.
So they were both either on a ship.
the other side of the world, or they were an aeroplane flying on and off ships.
A fleet air arm, yeah, exactly.
And so it was mostly my mum and then the five of us.
And I was thinking about this this morning.
I was thinking, I know exactly where I used to sit.
And we had an octagonal table on a pub table base.
And I would sit here.
My littlest brother would sit to my right.
My sister to my left.
My mum on the corner there.
And I can just still feel that thing.
And she did a lot of macrobiotic stuff at one point, which was dreadful.
But she was a good cook.
